Industrial Project - PHTN310
Photonics is the science and technology surrounding the generation, manipulation and detection of photons, the fundamental building block for light. Photonics is recognised as being a key enabling technology for next generation astronomy, biotechnology, medicine, communications and nanotechnology. Recent reports reveal that optics and photonics is responsible for 10% of the total revenue of the US and European economies. In this unit students have the opportunity to apply their knowledge, training, reasoning and analytical skills in a workplace environment. In particular, students are placed in industrial, government or semi-government laboratories to undertake projects within the broad scope of photonics and its application to real world problems. The projects are defined and supervised by University academic staff, and staff of the external laboratories concerned.
